GR Ori: emerging periodicity?

   We have received new data from Maeda-san, Roger Pickard,
Astrokolkhoz team (Tom Krajci and Josch Hambsch).
The most recent data by the Astrokolkhoz team on two nights
seem to suggest the presence of a longer period (~2 hr).
An analysis of the data yielded a period of 0.0823(5) d
with amplitudes of 0.03 mag.  The profile looks like
that of superhumps.  This period (very long for a WZ Sge-type
dwarf nova) may be the true periodicity of this object, 
and please continue to keep eye on this object.
